I wandered deep into the only living forest to find this \u2014a narrow rusty box<\/p>\n
that, in the glare of the sun,<\/p>\n
revealed a<\/p>\n
List of Friends<\/p>\n
a scroll of photos<\/p>\n
hearts and smiles<\/p>\n
Are these my earthly ancestors?<\/p>\n
my nubile antecedents who<\/p>\n
Talked of space travel<\/p>\n
and equated Hell with Planet Venus<\/p>\n
(a heart frozen over)<\/p>\n
I wonder if they\u2019ll like it here:<\/p>\n
my own dwarf planet, where I can<\/p>\n
fly with diaphanous wings<\/p>\n
That fold into origami fins and scales<\/p>\n
that let me dive into my<\/p>\n
oceanic haven.<\/p>\n
alternating between flight<\/p>\n
And<\/p>\n
Blue Fury<\/p>\n
i<\/p>\n
Yearn for<\/p>\n
Moss<\/p>\n
Autumn<\/p>\n
The chorus of trees<\/p>\n
The flurry of bees<\/p>\n
I want to know if those<\/p>\n
Strange creatures called<\/p>\n
Birds<\/p>\n
are indeed<\/p>\n
the great great grandparents of my<\/p>\n
